Backup, Recovery & Availability

The sad reality is that many businesses do not much focus on backup and recovery. The majority of businesses that do focus are often either uninformed of the best way to address the issue, or under the impression that their existing measures are sufficient. The end result is that vital services provided by the IT group are often ignored or misunderstood. Indeed, because too many businesses still see backup as a burdensome drain on their time, organizations that have well-run backup operations are very much in the minority.

A significant proportion of the problems associated with backup and recovery can be attributed to this basic reluctance—or inability—to take a firm grasp of it.

As a result, very few businesses are sufficiently organized, and there tends to be a lack of effective planning behind their strategies. Correct processes and procedures are often missing, and there is little evidence of root cause analysis when things go wrong.

So it is not surprising that many businesses operate with a false sense of assurance that everything will turn out alright. In truth, however, they are risking a cycle of perpetual fire-fighting.

What businesses do care about is making profit and the quality of the service they provide to their customers. While backup and recovery operations are often treated as necessary in an IT organization, they only become of strategic importance during an IT failure in recovering mission-critical information. Yet any interruption to service—whether IT-related or not—will affect profits, lower customer satisfaction, and even threaten the long-term prospects of the business.
